On subdifferentials of convex functions
This paper is concerned with the controllability of linear and nonlinear fractional dynamical systems in finite dimensional spaces. Sufficient conditions for controllability are obtained using Schauder's fixed point theorem and the controllability Grammian matrix which is defined by the Mittag-Leffler matrix function. Examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theory.
A method is presented for segmenting one-dimensional signal whose independent segments are modeled as polynomials, and which is corrupted by additive noise. The method is based on sparse modeling, the main part is formulated as a convex optimization problem and is solved by a proximal splitting algorithm. We perform experiments on simulated and real data and show that the method is capable of reliably finding breakpoints in the signal, but requires careful tuning of the regularization parameters...
The aim of this paper is to find the largest lower semicontinuous minorant of the elastic-plastic energy of a body with fissures. The functional of energy considered is not coercive.
The paper is devoted to a careful analysis of the shape-preserving properties of the strongly continuous semigroup generated by a particular second-order differential operator, with particular emphasis on the preservation of higher order convexity and Lipschitz classes. In addition, the asymptotic behaviour of the semigroup is investigated as well. The operator considered is of interest, since it is a unidimensional Black-Scholes operator so that our results provide qualitative information on the...
We prove the existence of a sequence satisfying , where f is a function whose second order Fréchet derivative ∇²f satifies a center-Hölder condition and F is a set-valued map from a Banach space X to the subsets of a Banach space Y. We show that the convergence of this method is superquadratic.
∗ Cette recherche a été partiellement subventionnée, en ce qui concerne le premier et le dernier auteur, par la bourse OTAN CRG 960360 et pour le second auteur par l’Action Intégrée 95/0849 entre les universités de Marrakech, Rabat et Montpellier.The primary goal of this paper is to shed some light on the maximality of the pointwise sum of two maximal monotone operators. The interesting purpose is to extend some recent results of Attouch, Moudafi and Riahi on the graph-convergence of maximal monotone...
